	Death
		Soon after death (15–120 minutes depending on various factors), the body begins to cool (algor mortis), becomes pallid (pallor mortis), and internal sphincter muscles relax, leading to the release of urine, feces, and stomach contents if the body is moved.
		The blood moves to pool in the lowest parts of the body, livor mortis (dependent lividity), within 30 minutes and then begins to coagulate.
		The body experiences muscle stiffening (rigor mortis) which peaks at around 12 hours after death and is gone in another 24 (depending on temperature) as enzymes begin to break down the tissues.

		Within a day the body starts to show signs of decomposition (decay), both autolytic changes and from 'attacking' organisms - bacteria, fungi, insects, mammalian scavengers, etc. Internally the body structures begin to collapse, the skin loses integration with the underlying tissues, and bacterial action creates gases which cause bloating and swelling.

	Pallor - Information at Halfvalue.com
		Pallor is a loss of skin or mucous membrane color which can be caused by illness, emotional shock, insufficient exposure to sunlight, or genetics.

	Death
		During livor mortis, the body becomes distended and skin colour progressively changes from green to purple and finally to fl.
		The dependent areas of the body undergo this process first due to the pooling of blood, and this is usually seen within 2 hours of death, with the process of livor mortis reaching its maximum at 8-12 hours.
		The skin may become pale (known as pallor mortis); there may be signs of blood buildup in the part of the body at lowest elevation (known as Livor mortis).

		Brits write 'colour', 'humour', 'splendour', but 'rigor', = 'stupor', 'pallor'.
		I'd say "rigour" is about as common as "rigor" - except in the special case of /rigor mortis/ (which phrase is a direct borrowing from Latin, anyway) -- and indeed the NSOED gives "rigor" as an alternative spelling of "rigour", rather than /vice versa/.
		So, Brits write 'colour', 'humour', 'splendour', but 'rigor', 'stupor', 'pallor'.

	Livor Mortis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The French developed the concept of lividity, or livor mortis, from the French liviere, "to turn blue." This is the gradual deoxygenation and gravitational settling of the blood that begins as soon as lungs and heart cease their motions.
		The color progression of lividity begins with the proverbial pallor of death, as blood begins to drain out of the upper surfaces of the body.
		Fifteen to twenty minutes after death, an experienced observer can see the first diffuse blotches as they appear on the underside of the body.

		Onset and duration of rigor mortis are influenced by environmental temperature and the degree of muscular activity prior to onset of death.
		Fibrolysins (lytic enzymes) are released from serous membranes, and cause lytic degradation of fibrinogen (which is responsible for the clotting of blood).
		This is usually seen within 2 hours of death, with the process of livor mortis reaching its maximum at 8-12 hours.

		SAN FRANCISCO - Leading research dieticians have confirmed that the age of the rotting corpse is now over: modern humans now unwittingly eat so many preservatives that when they die, they will not decompose.
		'The dead will certainly exhibit the usual symptoms' explains Dr. David Londegaard, 'such as rigor mortis, facial pallor, and sparse conversation.
		But it looks as though people are going to stay looking pretty good for hundreds of years after they die.' The news that Coke bottles, bin liners and Bridgestone tyres will biodegrade faster than humans has received a mixed reaction in those parts of the world where food is eaten.
